Several organized runs are held here each year.  This section is relatively flat with no significant changes in elevation.

A beautiful trail to experience in any season.

Located at Spaulding Park this 1/3 mile asphalt general activity trail is popular year round. The trail was recently renovated, along with the rest of Spaulding Park, in a $600,000 revitalization project. 

Trails Master Plan
From the very beginning, the overriding goal of this master planning endeavor has been to facilitate the actual construction of as many trails in Muskogee as possible; to ensure those trails are safe and located where they are needed and will be used; and to connect the major destinations within the city. This was a tall order from the start, and could not have been accomplished without the support, cooperation, hard work, and enthusiasm for the citywide trails concept that we received throughout the development of the Muskogee Trails Master Plan.
